Here is a request from Laura K., who is working at Christian Women’s Job Corp (CWJC) teaching the children:

“Pray that the children will see their need for God and understand that salvation is only through Jesus. Pray that we will teach with clarity the one and only way to God. Pray against any spiritual resistance to the gospel. Pray that even after we are gone, God will send more workers to disciple the children (especially those who believe on Jesus).”
